Even better than using a background image is snapping to features.

The gerber -> footprint method allows new tracks to be snapped to the
locations of pad locations derived from the gerber.

The idea of appending additional layout information to an existing gerber
is an interesting one. The trick to it would be ensuring alignment of the
two coordinate systems.

Regards,
Erich.
